Where's everyone..? Surely not sunbathing or gardening..! Miserable weather, no need for a watering can. No problems this week just a query on parsing certain clues. 6d e.g. (it's always the 'small' ones..!) I have the 'durable' bit..but where's the 'comic'.!? Tips gratefully received.!

Oh Raymond - our posts arrived at the same time ! I would not have started a second one... if I`1d seen yours first !
!Mags!

hi Raymond
I have only just bought my copy.
6d I think it must refer to one of the old film duo
(Oliver )
Just off to get lunch for a group of friends and do a bit of weeding (sun is shining here and quite warm too )

i thought it was tough this week, but several clues brought smiles - particularly my last four - 7, 22, 18 and 19

Thanks Jazzie, I see the 'Comic' now..but that's thrown my answer to 11a..! HELP..and happy gardening..! :-)

Hi raymond
I had never heard of 11a. It is well-constructed though, with an abbreviation for Australia backwards in the middle.

Good Afternoon all - stuck on 5D & 8A " Men raised nothing in fun". ***O*S. And. " Soft-top could be dear, check for any mistakes " *R*O*/ **A*. Further clues please.

HI devonian
5d construct it as the clue says, then turn it upside down. The "fun" is a bit loose, though OK; "games" would have been easier.
8a the first word is constructed from "soft top", the second is an anagram

Thanks Chrise - all finished

It's no good Chrise, if YOU'D never heard of 11a there's no chance for me.! I've taken your tip 'on board' but simply can't fathom it. I have : N - W - O - D - Am I correct so far..?
